Signs of Cold Stress in Tugela cliff-kalanchoe
Symptoms
Tugela cliff-kalanchoe cannot withstand extremely low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures range from 65℉ to 75℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, its leaves will show water-soaked decay and droop. For minor frost damage, initial signs might be absent, but within a week, leaves will severely wilt and eventually detach.
Solutions
Cut away the frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot or construct a temporary greenhouse for cold defense. When bringing it inside, select a spot near a south-facing window for sufficient light. If using a temporary greenhouse, ensure good air circulation to prevent plant decomposition from inadequate airflow.
